Iindlela ezizezinye zokutshixa/ukuthega

I-OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 ichaza iinkqubo "ezinye iindlela zokukhusela" ezinokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle ngaphandle kokubeka emngciphekweni ukhuseleko lokusebenza. Olu khetho lukwabizwa ngokuba "lukhetho oluncinci lwenkonzo". Yenzelwe imisebenzi yomatshini efuna ukutyelela rhoqo nokuphindaphindiweyo (umzekelo, ukususa iibhloko kwiibhanti zokuhambisa okanye utshintsho lwezixhobo ezincinci). Iindlela ezizezinye azidingi kucinywa kombane ngokupheleleyo.

Imizekelo yeendlela ezahlukeneyo zobuchwepheshe ibandakanya izitshixo ezilawulwa zizitshixo, iiswitshi zolawulo, ii-interlocking guards, kunye nezixhobo ezikude kunye nokuqhawula. Oku kunokuthetha ukutshixa inxalenye yesixhobo endaweni yomatshini wonke.

Umgangatho wamva nje we-ANSI othi “ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) Control of Hazardous Energy-Locking, Tagging, and Alternative Methods” uvumelene ne-OSHA ukuba abasebenzi bafanele bakhuselwe ekusebenzeni ngengozi kwezixhobo okanye ukuvuza kwamandla ayingozi. Nangona kunjalo, ikomiti ye-ANSI ayizange izame ukuthobela ngokupheleleyo yonke imfuneko yokuthobela i-OSHA yembali. Endaweni yoko, umgangatho omtsha ubonelela ngesikhokelo esongezelelweyo ngaphaya kwemida yemithetho ye-OSHA kwimisebenzi “eqhelekileyo, ephindaphindwayo, kunye nemisebenzi yemveliso eyimfuneko”.

I-ANSI icacisa ukuba iLOTO mayisetyenziswe ngaphandle kokuba umsebenzisi angangqina ukuba indlela epheleleyo eyahlukileyo iya kubonelela ngokhuseleko olusebenzayo. Kwiimeko apho umsebenzi ungaqondwa kakuhle okanye umngcipheko ungavavanywa, ukutshixa ngaphandle kufuneka kube yindlela yokukhusela emiselweyo esetyenziswa ukulawula umatshini okanye inkqubo.

Icandelo 8.2.1 le-ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) lichaza ukuba kufuneka isetyenziswe kuphela emva kokuba ihlolwe kwaye irekhodwe ukuba iteknoloji esetyenzisiweyo iya kubangela umonakalo omncinci ngokusebenzisa izifundo ezisebenzayo (okanye zokubonisa) enye indlela. Kukho umngcipheko wokuqala ngequbuliso okanye ukungabikho komngcipheko.

Ngokulandela imodeli yolawulo, i-ANSI/ASSE Z244.1 (2016) inika isikhokelo esineenkcukacha malunga nokuba, nini, kwaye njani ukusebenzisa uthotho lweendlela zolawulo ezizezinye ukubonelela ngokhuseleko olulinganayo okanye olungcono kubasebenzi abenza imisebenzi ethile. Ukongeza, ikwachaza iindlela ezizezinye zokunciphisa umngcipheko kwezinye iiteknoloji ezintsha, kubandakanya ukupakisha, amayeza, iiplastiki, amashishini okushicilela kunye nentsimbi; usetyenziso lwe-semiconductor kunye ne-robotics; kunye nabanye abajongene nemingeni yemithetho ekhoyo ngoku.

Okwangoku, kufuneka kugxininiswe ukuba iLOTO inika ukhuseleko oluphezulu, kwaye apho kunokwenzeka, kufuneka isetyenziswe ukukhusela abasebenzi kwimithombo yamandla eyingozi. Ngamanye amazwi, ingxaki yodwa ayisosizathu esamkelekileyo sokusebenzisa ezinye iindlela.

Ukongeza, i-CFR 1910.147 icacisa ngokucacileyo ukuba amanyathelo avumelekileyo ahlukeneyo kufuneka anike ukhuseleko olufanayo okanye oluphezulu njenge-LOTO. Ngaphandle koko, ithathwa njengengathobeliyo imithetho kwaye ke ngoko ayanelanga ukuthatha indawo ye-LOTO.

Ngokusebenzisa izixhobo ezisemgangathweni zokhuseleko—ezifana neengcango ezivalwayo kunye namaqhosha okuma ngexesha likaxakeka—abaphathi bezakhiwo banokufikelela kumatshini ngokukhuselekileyo nangokuthembekileyo, bethatha indawo yeenkqubo zeLOTO ezisemgangathweni ngaphandle kokwaphula iimfuno ze-OSHA. Ukusebenzisa ezinye iinkqubo ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko olulinganayo kwimisebenzi ethile kunokunyusa imveliso ngaphandle kokubeka abasebenzi emngciphekweni. Nangona kunjalo, ezi nkqubo kunye neenzuzo zazo ziphantsi kweemeko kwaye zifuna ukuqonda ngokupheleleyo imigangatho yamva nje ye-OSHA kunye ne-ANSI.
